Lighting group to set up shop at STEP

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority has created a new nonprofit called Lighting Cultivator Inc. – or Linc – to promote development and commercialization of energy-efficient lighting in the state.

The group, which will work with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Lighting Research Center, will open an office at the Saratoga Technology + Energy Park in Malta.

NYSERDA owns STEP, which is a business park for energy technology firms.
